Revivalists: Marketing the Gospel in English Canada, 1884-1957 - Kee, Kevin

Clean, tight, unmarked; a few light scratches to covers; otherwise very minimal wear; appears unread; In Canada, the latter half of the 19th century marked a profound break between the settler past and the beginning of an age of commercialization. Kevin Kee shows how Protestant evangelists used theatre, film, and jazz to make religion personally relevant to their audiences. Revivalists focuses on evangelists, singling out several significant entrepreneurs. Kee shows that by adjusting their methods to the cultural forms of the day, these evangelists contributed to the vitality of Canadian Protestantism.
